This is exactly what happened.... we came out strong... we went on a 10-0 run... we forced them to call a timeout and regroup. They did regroup and reeled us back in throughout the rest of the first half. I know it has been posted by others but this is College Basketball, we are not playing middle schools... yes we are better talent wise and we should beat these cupcakes (and we are).... but this isn't the Globetrotters vs the Generals... the other team is trying to win too...

How does this work? Each week I will create Prediction League threads for the weeks game(s). It's a simple concept: Each week you start with 100 points (only if a prediction is made, otherwise 0 points for the week) +25 PTs if you guess the winner -25 PTs if you pick the loser +10 PTs if guess IU score correctly +10 PTs if guess Opponent score correct -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of IU (over/under doesn't matter) -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of opponent (over/under doesn't matter) *** Reminder if you post a prediction and want to change it, please just POST a NEW Prediction, do not edit a prior post as I may miss those edits. The person with the most points (MINUS 2 LOWEST GAMES) at the end of the season wins.

The odd thing is he seems to get elevation on his mid-range jump shot... but behind the arc he barely lifts... *** Haven't read through this thread yet so forgive me if already discussed.

Game 4 is in the books... Congrats to @schoosier for joining the contest strong by predicting IU's final score. Congrats to @Ajwhitis, @coonhounds, @Count, @MoyeNeeded, & @The Ola Depot for correctly predicting Troy's final score.

I get you don't like him or wanted somebody else or whatever... but if the entire basis of your constant negativity is that he doesn't evolve and we don't make progress with him as our coach i am curious as to how you measure progress? Wins? Year 1 - went down 2, made progress as the year went on as we had 2 more conference wins than the prior year. (I don't see that as bad with an entire new staff and philosophy, not even to mention the players) Year 2 - 3 more wins than year 1 Postseason? Year 1 nothing, year 2 NIT, Year 3....? (Seems like progress to me) Eye Test? If you can actually tell me you remember what the first game if his tenure looked like and we still look the same then there is nothing else to say? Stats? Points Scored up 275 in yr 2, Rebounds up 173 in yr 2, Assists up 34 in yr 2, Steals up 27 in yr 2, Blocks up 20 in yr 2... FGM up, 3FGM up, FTM up.... the only statistical category that didn't improve in year 2 was turnovers Recruiting? As previously mentioned 2 (possibly 3) straight Indiana Mr Basketball, Locked down the State, good momentum

There were a LOT of very Close predictions....
